#201 has the Supercharger installed. The tech said the install went really well. He was having a ball....doing something different and working on a brand new car. Found a mouse nest under the intake manifold. Too many months sitting in California on a dealers lot with an exorbitant price. The strut tower brace that comes with the car doesn't fit. Way too low. However, the solution is a V-6 (Bullitt) Strut Tower brace. Fits it perfectly. I only have camera phone pics presently......I will take some with a good camera. I didn't have the Edelbrock faux valve/injector covers installed and instead had Blue FRPP valve covers put on the engine. Looks good and everything fits and looks like it belongs. Most of thetime if it looks right it probably is right. The engine has been run put not streeted yet. He left at 3pm on Friday and still had the guage package to install and Shelby shipped it without some parts that I am having overnighted (I hope they show on Monday). I can't wait to see how it does on the street on Monday.

 

And hey Louis its "W n e n n" not "W m e n n"

 

Thanks all,

I just saw #76 for sale on eBay.

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustan...%3A1|240%3A1318

 

The reason I mention is because this dealership is right down the street from me! I've been seeing this SGT in front of the dealership for many, many months. They originally were asking $5,000 over MSRP!

Now they are claiming this:

 

"With an original MSRP of $42010 this Shelby GT-C is now priced for immediate sale at $34990 BEFORE applying the Ford Retail Customer Cash which dependning on your location could be as high as $6000 for a net price of $28990. That is a potential savings of over $13000!"

 

They must be in big trouble!

Damn, I only got $2000 rebate back, and a $6000 under MSRP. But I did get 0.0% financing.

Oh well, them's the brakes! I wonder if my wife would like a matching Shelby? LOL

I was driving through Chino Hills, Ca today. And facing me at a traffic light across the intersection was another GO. He flashed his lights and I waved back. Since I was out on an errand, I just went on my way. But on the return trip, I saw it in a shopping center, parked. I drove up alongside and the driver was sitting in his car with his wife, eating an ice cream. We greeted each other. He said that he was #139. He also bought it at Chino Hills Ford, same as mine. He had no idea about this site, and said that somebody told him that there were only "about 300 of this color". I told him that it was rarer than that. I also told him that he should check out this site and the registry.

He may or may not, but now we know where #139 is.

# 139 is one of 4 cars built with an automatic transmission and one of 2 cars built with an automatic transmission and a DVD navigation system. I own the other one and would not eat ice cream in it!!

201 is back together again. The dealer restriped it yesterday and did a great job. We put a new hood scoop on it also. There were two sets of holes in the hood underneath the scoop when it was taken off. I can't believe the shoddy work done by some dealers.....instead of templating the old holes and drilling the new scoop to match, they just drill mre holes. All the raw metal was painted prior to reassembly. It looks good and even has the lettering on the back that wasn't on the car when it came in from So. California. I started looking for places to put the foglamps as I discovered that the intercooler interferes with where I had planned on installing them. Maybe behind the grille. I looked at billet grilles with foglamp cutouts this morning and I don't like any of them. Has anyone installed fogs behind the grille?

Maybe he dropped that ice cream cone that I saw him eating in the car last weekend and decided to just get a new one. :hysterical:

 

He sure has made a lot of mods to it. I am curoius to see what it goes for on eBay.

 

So, I guess I will be the only GO SGT left in Chino Hills?

I think he's dumb for selling, not only is the GO very rare, but Automatic and NAV!! STUPID..If I could afford another one

So this is a little off topic at the moment, but do we know what number Amy's is. I know she has a GO SGT/SC I've seen it before, but at the time I didn't have mine so I didn't pay attention to her CSM number

 

I know a guy in Texas or near here has CSM#3, I would Imagine that she has a low CSM if not the Prototype! :drool:

#3 was originally sold to Galpin Ford, and I thought it was in their museum! That is very interesting. I would like to know more about that car. Could you get him to join the forum or give me a call sometime?

My bad.. i went back and checked my pics and records. It was CSM # 4. You are correct, CSM # 3 is the one that they did the interview on You Tube with Carroll and I think its SC. Must be the one in the Galpin Museum

If you would like to update the list.....

I took my GO into Citrus Ford in Ontario California to have the side scoop replaced (peeling paint). I parked it in the body shop to go meet the body shop manager. When he came out, he asked me where my car was and I told him just inside the body shop. He looked through the door window, laughed and said "Oh, I thought that was one of mine". Then he pointed out another GO about 20 yards away from mine. I asked him what number it was and he didn't have a clue. So he went over and took a look.

It's #75

Add 08SGT0008-IL to the list. Bought from Citrus Motors, Ontario California. It was shipped and arrived 2 weeks ago and now lives in Glen Carbon, Illinois. It is sitting in my garage next to my 2008 Shelby GT500 (white w/blue stripes). Absolutely love them both. Both are very fun in their own different ways. Get more looks in the Grabber Orange probably because its so bright. I know I owe pictures to all. Will be posting them soon.

 

Thanks
